Piano ProficiencyFunctional keyboard facility must be demonstrated by ALL music majorsat UAB. This is accomplished by means of the required Piano ProficiencyExam. All Music majors are required to pass the Piano ProficiencyExam (MUP 125) before being permitted to enroll in MU 322, MusicTheory IV. This may be accomplished by passing the proficiency examupon entering UAB, or by taking two semesters of Class Piano (MUP124) and successfully completing the proficiency exam requirements inthe context of the course. Up to three semester hours of credit earned inClass Piano may be counted toward general electives.

Piano Proficiency Examination RequirementsPurposeTo demonstrate functional keyboard skills at a level appropriate forstudents majoring in Music, Music Technology, or Music Education.

ProcedureAll Music, Music Technology, and Music Education majors must pass thePiano Proficiency Examination by the end of their third semester of studyas a UAB Music Major. Students with considerable experience in pianomay be allowed to take the examination during their first term withoutenrolling for Class Piano. In the event they are not successful, theyshould enroll in Class Piano until the proficiency exam has been passed.All other students should enroll in Class Piano and continue enrollmentuntil the exam has been passed. Students should plan to pass the PianoProficiency Examination at the end of their third semester of music studyat UAB. All Music majors are required to pass the Piano ProficiencyExamination MUP 125 before being permitted to enroll in MU 322Music Theory IV. Proficiency examinations will be scheduled during thefinal examination week of each semester. The instructor of MUP 125 andtwo other faculty members will administer the exam. Students wishingto take the proficiency exam must contact the instructor at least oneweek before the last day of classes to schedule a time and place for theexam. The exam will be approximately fifteen minutes in duration andwill cover examples from the areas listed below. The examination maybe attempted once each semester until it is passed. Music Educationmajors cannot enter the TEP (Teacher Education Program) withoutfirst completing this requirement.

Students have two options leading to the completion of the PianoProficiency requirement.

• Incoming freshmen will be advised to enroll in class piano in their firstsemester. Passing the final exam of the second semester (advanced)course will count as passing the piano proficiency exam. Theymust still register for the piano proficiency exam for zero credit fortranscript purposes.

• Students may elect to take the piano proficiency exam in August,December, or April, without enrolling in the class piano sequence. Ifthey pass the exam, they are not required to take class piano at all.If they do not pass the exam, they must enroll in the two-semestersequence and pass the second-semester exam.

• Transfer students who have a documented piano proficiency exampass (either transcript or letter from department chair) will not berequired to take the exam or the class.

• Transfer students who have not passed a proficiency exam, evenif they have taken some class piano, must take the UAB pianoproficiency exam in August. If they pass the exam, they have met thePiano Proficiency requirement; if not, they must enroll in either thetwo-semester sequence, or the second semester, depending on theresults of the exam.

• In all of the above circumstances, the student must register for MUP125 (zero credit) for transcript purposes.

Required SkillsThe student is expected to demonstrate proficiencies in the areas of sightreading, performance, technique, and related functional skills includingtransposing and improvising simple accompaniments.

Music CapstonesUAB policy states: "Freshman students entering UAB in fall 2009 or after,must successfully complete the capstone course or experience requiredby their major program or school in order to graduate. All studentsgraduating in 2013 or later must complete a capstone requirement." ThisUAB policy is fulfilled by the Music Education and Music Technologyinternships for music majors with those concentrations. All other Musicmajors should complete MUP 497, Senior Recital/Project, during their lastsemester.

Teacher CertificationStudents who wish to prepare for careers as music teachers in schoolsat the pre-college level will need to complete the requirements for theprofessional teaching certificate issued by the Alabama Department ofEducation. These requirements are met by completing the curriculum forthe Bachelor of Arts in Music Education degree. Because the AlabamaState Board of Education frequently changes or adds teacher certificationrequirements, it is essential that students stay informed about currentcertification requirements. Therefore, Music Education majors arerequired to meet with their Music adviser and an adviser in theSchool of Education before registration each semester.

The Alabama teaching certificate is issued for two teaching fieldsin music: instrumental music and vocal/choral music, both valid forkindergarten through grade twelve. Students in any of the teachercertification areas in Music Education are required to earn credit in atleast one music ensemble per term for a minimum of seven terms. Infulfilling the participation requirement, instrumental students must enrollin an instrumental ensemble and vocal/choral students must enroll ina vocal/choral ensemble. At least six terms of the required ensembleparticipation must include involvement in the appropriate Major Ensemble(see above). Credit earned in excess of the minimum semester hourrequirements for ensembles may be applied to music electives within thegeneral studies portion of the teacher certification program.

Minor in Music or Music TechnologyThe minor consists of 26 semester hours of coursework in music.Students who minor in Music or Music Technology should have someprior musical experience and must audition on their performinginstrument. Music courses in which a grade below C is earned may notbe counted toward the minor. Minors are encouraged to participate inmusic ensembles throughout their academic program. Students shouldcontact the music office at (205) 934-7376 or email [email protected] specific audition requirements and to schedule an audition.

Transfer StudentsA student may not apply more hours of transfer credit toward anyrequirement for a major or minor in music than are awarded for theequivalent courses at UAB. Excess hours in any required area may beapplied as electives. Music majors must complete at least nine semesterhours in music at UAB. Minors must complete at least six semester hoursin music at UAB. See the section of the catalog titled “Completion of aDegree” for additional residency requirements.

The stated requirements for majors and minors in music are intendedto assure a balanced academic program. In evaluating transfer credits,therefore, course content as well as the number of credits in particularareas must be considered in order to determine whether courses takenat other colleges satisfy UAB requirements. To be considered equivalentto Music Theory I–IV and Aural Skills I–IV, courses taken at another

college must have included “aural skills.” If a separate “theory laboratory”was taken, both the laboratory and the related music theory course musthave been satisfactorily completed. Transfer students will be requiredto demonstrate by examinations, auditions, and other means that theircurrent knowledge and skills meet expected standards. Auditions willbe required to determine placement in applied music courses andconducting. Transfer students majoring in music will be required to passthe UAB Piano Proficiency Examination unless written verification isprovided from the appropriate official at the former college which showsthat they have passed an equivalent examination at that institution.

Music majors who transfer to UAB and students who change their majorfrom another field to music may either:

1. Complete the normal ensemble participation requirement for theirdegree program.

2. Participate in an ensemble during each term they are enrolled as amusic major at UAB, with no fewer than three terms of participation inUAB ensembles.

In either case, the semester hour ensemble requirement must be metby transfer and/or UAB credit. Students must be officially enrolled in anensemble in order to fulfill the participation requirement.

Music majors who transfer to UAB and students who change their majorfrom another field to music may either:

1. Complete the normal performance attendance requirement.

2. Enroll in and successfully complete MUP 001 during each term theyare enrolled as a music major at UAB, with no fewer than three terms.

Courses transferred from a two-year college cannot be used to satisfyrequirements for work at advanced levels (courses numbered 300 orhigher). No more than 60 semester hours may be transferred from a two-year college.

Scheduling of CoursesCertain music courses are offered one time each year or once everytwo years, according to a Department plan. A copy of this plan may beobtained from the Department of Music. Several courses are offeredirregularly, according to need.

Academic AdvisingEach music major is assigned a Departmental academic adviser. Thestudent MUST meet with his/her adviser before registering for classeseach semester. Music Education majors must also meet with anacademic adviser in the School of Education each semester.
